by Josh Feldman | 2:49 pm, December 24th, 2016
Julian Assange is speaking out in a new interview reflecting on Wikileaks role in the U.S. election.
Assange spoke with La Repubblica and immediately dismissed the idea that he was in the business of helping Donald Trump. And he has this assessment of how Trumps team is beginning to form:
As for Hillary Clinton, Assange is far more critical. He claims, It is clear that she pursued this war in Libya as a staging effort for her Presidential bid.

(6,537 posts)He wouldn't be living in one room at an embassy. He has made himself a joke.....a caricature of his "freedom of information" bullshit. No matter who it hurts or kills, no matter who suffers for his arrogance and rigidity. Just blow shit up and see what happens, just because he can.

His material obviously came from Russia with the imprimateur of Vladimir Putin.

(17,812 posts)Assange is basically saying that the Trump presidency and administration would be easily manipulated by outside forces for good or for evil....I think this is entirely true. Who's pulling the strings, and how far will they be allowed to go??

(96,565 posts)"Donald Trump is set to inherit an uncommon number of vacancies in the federal courts in addition to the open Supreme Court seat, giving the president-elect a monumental opportunity to reshape the judiciary after taking office.
The estimated 103 judicial vacancies that President Obama is expected to hand over to Trump in the Jan. 20 transition of power is nearly double the 54 openings Obama found eight years ago following George W. Bushs presidency.
Confirmation of Obamas judicial nominees slowed to a crawl after Republicans took control of the Senate in 2015. Obama White House officials blame Senate Republicans for what they characterize as an unprecedented level of obstruction in blocking the Democratic presidents court picks."
